== Retiring from Misplaced Pages ==

When I first joined Misplaced Pages, I did it for the women hockey. It in its own way, became writing therapy for me in the sense that I was able to write about what I loved. Misplaced Pages allowed me to sort out parts of my life that I needed to deal with ( I am a former junior player of hockey which stopped because of a grave wound in 2009)

There are a lot of users who I worked that I would like to thank for their assistance: ], ], ] and ]. For those other users whose names I failed to mention, thanks you.

To all women users, good luck and courage on Misplaced Pages. This is a man's world. --] (]) 15:16, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

::: Very much missed. Its very sad people are continually being driven off wiki, dispite a clear need for them to be here. This will probably only continue to worsen with others.

Hello e'erybody,


== Requested move at ] ==
The rape culture page has come under fairly intense scrutiny lately (this isn't necessarily a bad thing). Since it's important to discuss violence against women on that page w/r/t rape culture (duh), and since editors doubt the existence of rape culture (or require more neutrality), it's become difficult to edit. Has anyone been following the recent case in NYC, where two cops were complicit in the rape of a drunk woman, yet were ? And there's a good op-ed . I guess I'm asking to keep your eyes open for more sources that discuss the case through the lens of an overarching culture of violence/obfuscation of violence, or to just help edit the page. If this is the wrong spot to post this, please let me know. --] (]) 14:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

"Hi there. I was in sixth grade when JFK died, so I'm old enough to be somewhat shocked that I never learned about his sister Rosemary until now. I would like to work with the editors of this article to place one cited sentence in the lead. I'm prepared to read any books you think are needed in order to accomplish that. I will try to be careful of Joseph's reputation and take it easy, but what happened to his daughter is almost unbelievable to me today. Is anybody else willing to help?
:Our article about her brother says he was promiscuous and said to ], "I wonder how it is for you, Harold? If I don't have a woman for three days, I get terrible headaches." The Associated Press quote from her , "Rosemary was a woman, and there was a dread fear of pregnancy, disease and disgrace,” author Laurence Leamer wrote in an unauthorized Kennedy biography called ''The Kennedy Women: The Saga of an American Family''. The AP obituary, "But as she got older, her father worried that his daughter's mild condition would lead her into situations that could damage the family's reputation."

Geena Davis Institute article

Hello! I'm Robin, posting here as part of my work for Beutler Ink on behalf of the Geena Davis Institute. I've disclosed my conflict of interest on the article Talk page and on my User page.

I'm looking for help improving the article, which has become a bit overly detailed and self referential. You can see my proposed changes here. The version I've proposed brings it back to focus on secondary sourcing. I'm posting here since the article is listed within this WikiProject's scope. Thanks for taking a look. Cheers!

Marie Curie

If Maria Skłodowska-Curie, commonly known as Marie Curie, wanted her surname to be Skłodowska Curie and her page should reflect that. It is only her common name because of sexism and xenophobia. See a further discussion here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzY5m_5ki0c Enfyslemle (talk) 07:32, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Enfyslemle, I understand the want to correct for historical injustices, but as an encyclopedia our role is to reflect sources, including when they change their stances on such things. It is our duty to inform readers about the world and how it is viewed as it is, not as what it should be. I recommend you take a look at why we can't right great wrongs. If you feel there are times this position further hampers marginalized voices, I would submit that it at least also protects them at a far greater rate. Remsense ‥  07:37, 23 October 2024 (UTC)
